[jira] [Updated] (IMPALA-14220) IsActive checks blocked by the getCatalogDelta operation when there are slow DDLs

> When catalogd HA is enabled, catalogd will check whther it's the active one before serving each request, i.e. in [AcceptRequest()|https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/8d56eea72518aa11a36aa086dc8961bc8cdbd1fd/be/src/catalog/catalog-server.cc#L593]:
> {code:cpp}
> Status AcceptRequest(CatalogServiceVersion::type client_version) {
> ...
> } else if (FLAGS_enable_catalogd_ha && !catalog_server_->IsActive()) {
> status = Status(Substitute("Request for Catalog service is rejected since "
> "catalogd $0 is in standby mode", server_address_));
> }
> {code}
> This check requires holding the catalog_lock_:
> {code:cpp}
> bool CatalogServer::IsActive() {
> lock_guard<mutex> l(catalog_lock_);
> return is_active_;
> }{code}
> [https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/8d56eea72518aa11a36aa086dc8961bc8cdbd1fd/be/src/catalog/catalog-server.cc#L896]
> This lock is also held by [GatherCatalogUpdatesThread|https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/8d56eea72518aa11a36aa086dc8961bc8cdbd1fd/be/src/catalog/catalog-server.cc#L905] (a.k.a. topic update thread) which invokes JNI method GetCatalogDelta to collect catalog updates.
> It's known that collecting catalog updates could be blocked by slow DDLs that holding the table lock for a long time (IMPALA-6671). The topic update thread usually waits for 1 minute (configured by topic_update_tbl_max_wait_time_ms / 2) on the table lock and then skips it with a warning like this:
> {noformat}
> Table tpch.lineitem (version=2373, lastSeen=2373) is skipping topic update (2387, 2388] due to lock contention{noformat}
> If the table hasn't been collected 3 consecutive times (configured by catalog_max_lock_skipped_topic_updates), topic update thread will wait infinitely on it in the next time.
> So when the topic update thread is slow in collecting one round of updates, it holds the catalog_lock_ for a long time and blocks all new requests on this catalogd. This impacts performance on all queries that requires loading metadata from catalogd.
